Halloween’s origins go back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. This celebration of the harvest included wearing costumes to scare off ghosts. These days, we just wear them for the fun of it.
Celebrities including Paris Hilton and Justin Bieber love to get in on the action as well. Here are some of the best and worst costumes from 2023 so far. Many chose to honor their musical idols this year.
Fasten your seat belts. Paris Hilton paid homage to Britney Spears this year. She dressed up as the flight attendant from Britney’s "Toxic" music video. Lizzo remembered the late Tina Turner, whom we lost this year. She was simply the best.
Christina Aguilera took to X, the site formally known as Twitter, to explain her costume. "On my favorite day of the year it's only right to turn back time and tribute the OG trailblazer @cher Cher's message through her music and style has left a permanent mark on the world and to this day, I still can't believe I had the opportunity to work with such a legend!!!!" she gushed. "No one could ever fill the shoes of the great & powerful Cher. The love and respect I have for you is endless ⚓️."
